Advanced: Complete the Manager installation using the headless package

Generally, you should choose a stand-alone package, which includes both the stand-alone awusbmanager and the awusbmanager-headless binaries. For ease of use, Digi recommends choosing the stand-alone package.

The headless package is intended for advanced Linux users.

Run the awusbmanager headless binary.
```
$ awusbmanager-headless
```
Note The Manager is not normally run as root on Linux systems.
Provide a client ID for this PC.
```
$ awusbmanager-headless set clientid,CLIENTIDNAME
```
where the CLIENTIDNAME is the client ID you have chosen for this PC.
Get the IP address of the Hub. This is needed to complete the connection between the Manager and the Hub.
```
$ awusbmanager-headless list
```
Note This command can be used if you are on the same local subnet as the Hub. If you are not, another method should be used.
Add the client ID for the PC to the AnywhereUSB Hub client ID list.
1. In a web browser, enter the Hub's IP address in the URL field and press Enter. The log in screen for the Hub displays.
2. Log in to the web UI using the Hub's user name and password.
3. Select System > AnywhereUSB Configuration.
4. In the Client Settings section, click Add Client, then enter the client ID and the desired group access.
5. Click Apply.

Verify that the Hub is connected to the Manager. When the connection is complete, the groups you selected for the client ID display.

$ awusbmanager-headless list

Example output

$ awusbmanager LIST
AnywhereUSB Manager, below are the available devices:

AW8W-000001 (192.168.0.1:18574)
Group 1 (AW8W-000001.1) (In-use by you)
Group 2 (AW08-000001.2)
Group 3 (AW08-000001.3)
Group 4 (AW08-000001.4)
Group 5 (AW08-000001.5)

Group 7 (AW08-000001.7)
Group 8 (AW8W-002007.8)
Group 8 (AW08-000001.8)

Connect a device to the Hub and verify that you can see the device in the Manager.

Insert a USB memory stick into port 1.
Run the list command so you can see the memory stick in the group.
```
$ awusbmanager-headless list
```

Look for the inserted notification or find the USB device as /dev/sd*.
